Apartment in Eden Island

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 109 reviews

Elegant Waterfront Apartment on Eden Island

Tie up at the private marina berth of this luxury property before heading out on the buggy to explore. Stop off at the private beaches and pools en route. If you want to stay fit then you’ll enjoy the residents’ gym, tennis court and running and cycling paths on Eden Island. Back inside, freshen up in the twin-vanity bathroom before a drink on the balcony overlooking the main Eden Island marina complete with super yachts. Sleep in comfort in our beautifully appointed 2 bedrooms (one king bed the other with twin beds). Our apartment has stunning views over the water to the mountains of Mahe. 14 Hibiscus has one of the best apartment views on Eden Island. Waterfronting, it overlooks the main marina and over water back towards the mountains of Mahe. As it is on the first floor it is safer for families with young children than ground floor properties as all properties are beside water. This also gives better views. The entire apartment is yours. I'm happy to organize a taxi for the airport if required. I have also organized discounts on boat hire (manned or unmanned) if you would like me to. If you need any assistance in terms of holiday plans or places to visit please don't hesitate to ask. Sunbathe on the four private beaches and stroll amongst the island's lush vegetation, looking over the ocean to the mountains of Mahe. Play tennis, work out at the gym or visit cafes, ice cream parlours, restaurants and bars, and browse high-end boutiques, all without leaving the island. If you want to travel further afield you’ve got the very best base to explore. Boat trips depart directly from Eden Island for Sainte Anne Marine National Park or the stunning islands of Praslin and La Digue. The apartment is very close to the main hub of Eden Island with its restaurants, bars, cafés and shopping. Eden Island is close to both the airport and the capital of the Seychelles, Victoria.

Your guide to Seychelles

Welcome to Seychelles

The Seychelles name is nearly synonymous with the most fabulous sort of sandy-toed luxury, conjuring images of swaying palms, velvety sands, turquoise waves, and sunsets bursting like ripe fruit across the sky. The reality is all that and more. These paradisiacal islands — 115 of them — are strung through the western Indian Ocean, hundreds of kilometres off the East African coast. The Inner Islands are formed from mid-oceanic granite, the Outer from coral, creating an incredible natural environment that’s ideal for island-hopping.

On Mahé, the largest island, the capital, Victoria, fizzes with an intoxicating culture that combines Indian and African influences in its Creole cuisine, music, and art, while its southwest beaches, Anse Royale and Anse Capuchin, are dotted with the elegant granite boulders that define the Seychelles’ image. Most iconic are those at Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue, another major island, along with sublime Praslin, the second largest. Here, in the Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, grows the coco de mer, the earth’s largest seed, just one natural wonder among many in a fantastical land where giant tortoises, rare birds, and tropical fish are common sights.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Seychelles

The Seychelles are blessed with warm weather year round, but it’s the winds that might govern when you come. Northwesterly trade winds blow from October to March and the stronger southeasterly trade winds from May to September, meaning the calmer months of April and October can be the most pleasant times to stay in one of the local villas. These are also great months for diving, when the visibility is at its best. Wildlife lovers should visit between October and April to see hawksbill turtles nesting on the beaches, and witness breeding season for many birds in April.

In October, the Festival Kreol is undoubtedly the country’s most important and joyful cultural event, celebrating local Creole culture with street parties, music, food stalls, dances, and dominoes over several days and nights. May brings the Festival of Underwater Images photography show, plus the national Africa Day, with music, art, and food.


Top things to do in Seychelles

Mahé’s Interior

It’s tempting to spend all your time on the sand, but the islands have beautiful inland terrain. On Mahé, the Sauzier waterfall descends into a palm-lined freshwater pool that’s heavenly for swimming, and there’s wonderful hiking in the misty forests of the Morne Seychellois National Park, where you can listen for the calls of the world’s smallest frog as you hike past jackfruit trees to a viewing platform above the sheer cliffs of Morne Blanc.

Sainte Anne Marie Marine National Park

A few kilometres from Mahé, the Sainte Anne Marie Marine National Park consists of six islands surrounded by coral reefs that are superb for snorkelling and scuba diving. Green turtles feed on rare seagrass meadows, giant tortoises roam freely, and there are pirates’ graves to spot.

The coral atolls

Far from the granite Inner Islands around the capital, the 72 coral Outer Islands are home to crystalline lagoons and incredible marine life. Closest are the Amirantes Islands, 130 miles from Mahé; then Alphonse atoll, and the Farquhar Group near the huge Providence reef. Farther away still is the Aldabra Group, an incredible, remote UNESCO World Heritage Site 630 miles from Mahé.
